For those with alcohol sensitivity or restrictions can still enjoy the benefits of bitters with Flora’s alcohol-free extraction of Swedish Bitters.
Bitter, salty, sweet and sour tastes have important effects on the body. Bitter foods were traditionally an essential part of our diet. Although bitters are seldom used today, you can obtain their many benefits by using Swedish Bitters. Based on a centuries-old European formula, Swedish Bitters were inspired by the renowned Austrian herbalist Maria Treben. These bitters are some of the most potent available.
Our internal organs, and hence our whole system, suffers if we don’t have the bitter taste element in our diet. A lack of it results in symptoms like poor digestion, fatigue, and irregularity, which can make us feel out of sorts, low in energy and sometimes just downright awful. Traditionally used to help digestion, Swedish Bitters can promote regularity, maintain and improve health, and keep energy levels up.
Something is Missing
Did you know that we have lost our understanding of just how important the bitter taste is to our bodies? Our ancestors understood about bitter taste. By including bitter foods (mostly roots) in their diet, they maintained the balanced functioning of the digestive organs. Poor digestion, so common now, was foreign to them. Bitter foods are foreign to us. Those that do remain in our diet, such as artichokes, watercress and endive lettuce, are specialty rather than staple foods.
The Rich Taste of Bitters
Is there a way to get rich-tasting bitter flavour into our diet? Yes, through Swedish Bitters, a very special herbal elixir. The truth of Swedish Bitters lies in its rich, bitter taste and in its traditionally proven effectiveness.
What is the Benefit of Bitters?
We have 4 different types of taste buds on the surface of our tongues, to discern what is wholesome and what is not good for us. These papillae allow us to taste sour, sweet, salty, and bitter.
In our diet today, there exists almost no bitter taste, no bitter substances at all. In general, we have overloaded the sweet side and eliminated bitter foods from our diet. It is fairly obvious that a lack of bitter taste has had a dramatic effect on our metabolic system especially after a few generations.
What is the Role of Bitters and the Liver?
A bitter taste has a profound effect on your digestive system, especially the liver, the keeper of metabolic balance within the body. The liver’s job is to produce fluids required for proper and complete digestion, as well as to rid your system of dangerous toxins. Even if you eat a good natural diet, artificial ingredients and chemical residues can find their way into your system. It’s so important to cleanse your body of these unwanted substances as soon as possible. Our liver has several tremendous jobs to do and it needs the stimulation of bitter herbs in order to do its job properly.
